If one were to look at the beat up steam locomotive under the control of Mister Jarfi, one would think it belonged to a demon.
Blood ran down the front of the train, and scorch marks pocked it where he ran through barricades, not even letting the soldiers garrisoned on it time to fire back. There were bodies, in the control room. Bodies of those who tried to take the train and ruin Jarfi's schedule. Two federation soldiers, both shot multiple times, though one of them managed to stab Jarfi in the shoulder, and one, in some kind of armored exoskeleton, impaled on one of the forward facing spikes. The grey-haired human was gritting his teeth as one of the Anean passengers tended to his shoulder, but he never stopped managing the train, his lads shoveling coal, papers, anything that would burn, as fast as they could.
I will not be late.
---------------------------------
Resha could not bear to look at Masako now. Perhaps it was because his men had radiation burns and half of them had temporary blindness. Perhaps it was because he, himself, was blinded. Or perhaps it was because before firing that devilish weapon, she had not had the courtesy to scream 'duck', first.
"You better hope this isn't permanent woman. I will have your hide if it is."
He had been told by the conductor that they were almost to the mountains, but with most of his soldiers blind and unable to operate the guns, they were practically defenseless, relying on the GK-IIs and other escorts.
--------------------------------------
Kazi'na saw a building standing out of the rubble. So many of the enemy were converging upon it. Was this the place the soldiers were headed? The wraiths certainly seemed to want to head this way. The soldiers around him were looking for something....there weren't as many as before, and they had lost two trucks, but they kept their spirits up.
One of the soldiers motioned to him, and Kazi'na helped him remove a service entrance of some kind.
"The sewers..they'll get us out of sight, and hopefully let us reinforce the bunker...you first pal, you've got better night-sight."
Kazi'na climbed down the ladder into a rank smelling hell. It was dark, rancid, and foul. The wraiths followed him inside. Amazingly enough, only one of them was even wounded, and it was from an Anean soldier. The Enemy didn't know how to deal with them, the light-guns of the elites doing next to nothing, and the regular soldiers not reacting fast enough...believing that their armor would protect them. They had been ripped open like so much tissue paper, feeding the growing pups.
Other soldiers began to join them, carrying boxes of ammo and food, whatever they could carry. Had to hurry, lest one of the Enemy see them.

Qualt finally got around to filling out the official paperwork regarding the Assumption of Control of the Protectorate... which was already active the minute that a nuclear bomb hit in a SOTO-member nation's territory. The order made him officially the dictator of Miokalia for it's duration.
With the catastrophe in the Brobies region, he signed the order of declaration of total war against the Galactic Federation. Although it did seem a bit after the fact. It's just there really isn't time to do these things in the heat of battle.
He contacted the Calie cabinet and asked if they were going to join in and do similar. As they had both just engaged in nuclear combat against the Federation, and narrowly escaped annihilation. He knew his bounds. He wasn't commanding them, simply asking. Since it really was up to them if they wanted to pursue the Federation as a country. (Qualt is respectful of independence, unlike some of his staff)
Qualt arranged some of his forces to get ready to help re-capture the Anean Island. The Federation had to be completely neutralized, not just contained. For what they did to the south. Somehow, he stopped just short of signing a dictat ordering his troops to "take no prisoners" and kill all Federation soldiers, including those who attempted to surrender.
"No. I won't be like them. Then they will have won. They will have changed us. This will not be on our claws. It is more important that their ways die than they themselves.", he supressed his internal K24 system that was screaming for bloody revenge.
Andertol was meanwhile, tearing curtains off the walls and throwing bottles and chairs and books at him in the office, screeching, "THEY TRIED TO KILL US ALL. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THIS IS NO TIME FOR HONOR OR MERCY OR ANYTHING. THEY WERE GOING TO NUKE TEL AND HOKYLDARYON AND INLEEF AND LIGER CITY AND HOLYOKE AND EMASS AND KOLMINAISUS AND..."
Qualt said, "Would you just please shut your shrieking maw for fuck's sake. What makes you think someone willing to do that is going to make use of our amnesty anyway? These bastards would rather blow themselves up than surrender. We're probably going to shoot all of them anyway!"
Andertol continued, "WE SHOULD BE CAPTURING THEM AND SYSTEMATICALLY EXECUTING EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF THEM, NONE OF THIS TECHNICAL HONOR CRAP. DID THEY OFFER THE PEOPLE IN THE BROBIES A CHANCE? NO! THEY CRASHED A SHIP INTO THEM AND KILLED THOUSANDS AT LEAST. DID THEY OFFER TEL A CHANCE? NO! THEY SHOT A MISSILE AT THEM AND WOULD HAVE KILLED THEM WITHOUT EVEN SO MUCH AS A WORD.
THESE SHITS KNOW NO HONOR AND THUS THEY SHOULD BE GIVEN NONE!"
Andertol stomped out of the room, tearing the door off the hinges as it got in his way.
-------------------------------------------------------
Coronan Landing Team - Special K
10 cluster ships were ready for loading at the cities of Accallia, Haverigg and Haven. The Landing team "Special K" was also present. Their mission was to secure any 'found' hardware that had been abandoned on the island, so that any booby traps could be diffused and also so that the enemy couldn't acquire them.
The ships seemed to have at least 50 openings that led to the transport compartments. Beyond those was a byzantine maze of tubes. Too small for someone to comfortably move through, but too large to go unnoticed.
The Special K squad was fairly odd looking. Comprised of lithe mechanical monster drones with anywhere between 4 to 8 limbs at any given time. These definitely were not the same "Malych" that were in Miokalia. They limited their visible time though. There was work to be done and Operators didn't want to make a distraction.
"You do realize", said one of the operators to another operator of another drone, "that the name of our team correlates to the name of a food cereal on this planet. So I've read."
"Then we shall make an irony of it. And cause the Federation to fear crunchy rice flakes.", said the General Operator in command, "The first mission is to secure abandoned hardware so the Federation cannot use it against the allies. This is... something within our nature and we would be doing our watery friends a disservice by not doing this. Artillery pieces, flak equipment, machine gun nests, mech inf, tanks, trucks, trains. I hear that The Dominion of our Lady Atumrrcho (Aatuylva in Coronaspeak) had a great deal of train systems there...
For what they have done. For what they did to our wayward younger brothers in Miokalia, For what they did to the organics of this planet, For threatening our Lady Atumrrcho, For the transgressions they have wrought here:
We shall ensure the Federation fears this galaxy..."

"No response sir, I guess they didn't buy it. Maybe it was a little too corny?"
"Maybe. Thank you Krel," said Supreme Commander Kraz into the comm. "Keep coming up with ideas. I know this whole thing is outside our domaine of expertise, but we have to come up with something."
"Aye sir."
Kraz walked back to the center of the command center. "What's the status of their assault?"
A voice of some brown furred major answered. "Their ground efforts seem to be slowing. The Anean resistance and military have attained enough organization and ground to hold fortified positions for the time being, but enemy pressure is building at the previously identified critical points. Elsewhere they're targeting of Cal and Miokalia has turned to be mostly focused against the latter. A space craft has collided with South Broby in Miokalia. However more of their focus seems to be moved towards the Anean fleet in exterior orbits."
Kraz nodded. Hopefully most of the destruction would be at high orbits. All the same for years there would be debris reigning down on the entire planet. It would be best if it was slowly and not all at once as with South Broby.
"Have they taken any interest in us or the human UN allies?"
"No sir, not beyond their forces over New Gracaria," replied the Major. "Perhaps the Hive folks are helping with that so far."
"Sir, report from the Epshar X-Ray Observatory!" cried someone across the room. The cat in charge moved over there.
"Report."
"Yes sir, the scientists in charge of it figured they could help out by pointing it towards the G-F fleet. They are claiming to have evidence of further nuclear payloads. Still trying to pin down the exact ship or ships."
Space Commander Laxmibil Mragdi, a rather tall and thin wolverine came up to the Supreme Commander. "Sir, do tell me if priority is to change."
"No. Not yet at least. We still have sixty minutes before main sequence fire yes?" The wolverine nodded. "Then we have time to see if we need a new target for the old ship."
Kraz turned to one of the other officers at a console. "Missile status?"
"Interception targeting will be difficult. These missiles aren't designed for anything like this. Striking a donkey waving a rocket launcher around on the roof of a captured embassy yes. Shooting down space ships and other missiles, not so much."
"So?"
"So, we'll have to get lucky and also shoot a lot for any incoming just to have a chance. And even then, it might just mean we have a nuclear blast above us rather than on the ground."
"How are the ICBMs?"
"Err, they're on stand by, target is orbit."
The Union of Tinis only had fifteen at this point. But fifteen nukes was a better deterrent, or revenge, then nothing.
"Good. Order 99 is active. If I and the First Speaker are dead, it is up to you or anyone whom can reach this console with the proper code to do the right thing."
-----
The trio sat on the roof quietly. The leader had the box, still closed before him. The puff on the horizon had them a little worried.
"What was..."
"Near Broby. Thousands are probably dead. If not more."
-----
The streets of Arx were in chaos as were the subways, railways, monorails, exclusive bus lanes, and even the pedestrian malls. People moved quickly towards shelters in most cases.
Harvey shrugged. He gazed out over the chaos below from the balcony of the cartoonishly soviet style high rise.
"You coming? Hurry up!"
"Yeah yeah," he said as he returned through the empty apartment and back to the stairwell. They were heading up. After another ten minutes the got to the roof and looked out. So far no heavy destructions had come to Tinis. But in case they were all going to die, the group of five had opted to face it here. Front row at the end of the world.
"Oh wow you can see so much from here!"
"Well duh, any wonder why the flyers spend half their time up on places like this?"
Harvey was silent. The actor went to the edge and looked down the several dozen stories to the streets below.
"Scarred Harve?"
He shook his head to signal no.
"Just checking, hehe. Hey, did we leave the blue cooler down stairs? Well crap. I'm not getting it."

Haven Staging Grounds
Lord Commander Verani looked at his assembled troops, coughing through his gasmask. Never has a force so large left Aatuylvan soil, save once, in ancient times...Among the many troops being sent overseas at the three staging areas were the 3rd Deep Patrol, Mechanized Company, the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd artillery battallions (of six artillery pieces each), the 1st Rocket Battallion (ten mobile rocket artillery pieces, six towed), elements of the Haven Air Guard, numbering twenty gunships and twelve transport helis, two militia companies, the Arvorian Guard and the Maji's Militia...and authorization to use three Leviathan heavy helis due to the lack of rail lines. Ten of the new tailsitter interceptors were also being loaned, as well as the Wraithriders, a platoon from the penal legions that was quite notorious.
He pulled his greatcoat around himself, and tightened the hood around himself, and walked towards one of the...creatures. A member of Deep Patrol was with him, a man named Corzi something or other, whatever his name, he had a prosthetic leg.
One more step towards Haven, as they say.
"We have special ammunition that needs to be loaded. Great care must be taken with it."
He tried to keep from wheezing, and one of his 'watches' was ticking quite audibly.
"We would not want any...mishaps, while loading the troops."
----------------------------------------
On the other side of the world, the people sighed very much in relief as the Federation ships that were harassing began to leave, heading to join the battle with the Anean Space Forces.
The leaders of the world, well, at least two of them, had decided that enough was enough. The strategic forces had been mobilized, the ICBMs had been retooled, and those from Russia and the United States were the first to fire. Several hundred MIRV nuclear warheads speeded into space, headed into the paths of the ships that were rushing to assist the Talon Star. The warheads separated as the surviving missiles reached their targets, turning each one into ten separate missiles. Those planetside waited anxiously to see if it had any effect on the aliens.

Just as the ship entered Space, the Harbinger turned her head as she caught a ''glimpse'' on the planet's surface... Her AI indicated that a ship crashed on the South Hemisphere, probably causing a high amount of casaulties... She couldn't feel sad for the deads, this emotion wasn't registered as helpful for the mission, but she could ''feel'' disappointed that the 3 Defence Satellites couldn't have covered more surface and prevented that event. The large ship, from where radiations were leaking the most, more than probably the main Enemy's Orbital Bomber, was coming closer and closer on the screen... The ''Friendly'' and the Anean Fleets were still battling, missiles and ships exploding in the surrounding Space... The Harbinger hoped that the Survivability Chances displayed by her AI were correct, which they were surely, but she couldn't help herself and her organic half... Finally, the small ship reached the Large Bomber, boarding it from below. As the ship attached itself to the docking bay, making a loud metallic noise, the Harbinger disconnected herself from the ship's computer and faced the Anean on-board the whole time. # You can stay here or follow me from afar. Don't hinder my movements, if you do. Your survivability isn't a priority in my mission.# The ship's door then opened, revealing a few surprised engineers and a few guards that were probably patrolling this dock. The Harbinger quickly put 2 hands in front of her and let go a powerful ''shockwave'', projecting the nearby people on the walls, knocking them unconscious. # Stay or come, but take their guns. You will need them.# Her AI displayed the success of their silent entry, as no guard had raised the alarm. Leaving the Anean behind her, she slowly walked toward the unconscious mens... and promptly finished them with her monomolecular blades... The longer She would remain undetected, the higher the chances of success would be... OOC : # is to ''show'' she's using Her synthesized ''feminine'' metalic-voice... I hope you can picture it ?

The creature was a bit confused at first.
It's talking to me? Shit, Have to get language resources. Hope that wasn't too long
"I would suggest you put it in a seperate compartment... hold on.
Oh. I see. Ok.
We will put barriers up in the main compartments so you can keep it safe, but easily accessible. I'm going to have the containment systems adjusted just in case there are any accidents. So that you may walk away from it alive.
Place the ammunition in the cabinet structures of the barriers, or if you prefer, I'll have a drone do it. I'm going to have some of the N. Drones operate containment."
The creature paused a moment and looked at him,
"You're not like most of the... people here... or perhaps I'm mistaken."
The operators of this drone were having a hard time keeping their interest in this unique person curbed.
"I'm sorry... After the war. I would like to know more about you. Until then."

Had to hurry, lest one of the Enemy see them. Captain KCSomething is wrong... the Federation soldiers are backing off... Then I saw the radar, which surprisingly still works. The whole thing is covered in dots. I said into the base intercom, which also goes into the sewers and the bunkers, "Attention, all Anean forces and any civilians must move into protected areas. We have large amounts of incoming targets and I fear that they may be nuclear weapons. All entries are to be sealed immediately. As long as the sewer entrances are sealed, then those are safe to take cover in." I headed down the stairs as fast as I could. A soldier held the door open for me into the bunker. As soon as I got in, he closed it and sealed it. Minutes later, the ground shook violently. For once, I am glad IX had this whole base, including the sewers, lead-lined. Vice Admiral Luca RioI opened fire on what was left of the Federation fleet, but concentrated fire on the Talon Star. Just because I wanted to be like IX a little bit, I smashed the Imperator into the front of the Talon Star. The front of the Talon Star broke off. I also had several guns fire at the bridge of the Talon Star. Of course, that's the only part of the ship with shields. "All drop ships, get ready for deployment on Earth!" Imperator IXThe shuttle dropped from the Imperator, much to the enjoyment of the soldiers. I, however, am not really excited. The reports of the devastation aren't very good. As we passed into the atmosphere of the planet, I sent another message to Tiam. Well, I am landing on the island in a minute or two. I will see you in a day I think. I love you. I put the pad in a bag on my right leg. It doesn't really work with the all gold armor since it is dark green, but it works for storing simple things. The rear door of the 500 shuttle opened and I was first out. For the first time since arrival a year ago, I was on the sand at the west side of the island. Of course the sand is making this armor harder to move in. I have my sword in one hand the new Class B Assault Rifle in the other. For obvious reasons I removed the stock. I ran up the beach as fast as I could. Just because, I looked left and right. On both sides, countless soldiers, tanks, and AIFVs are pouring off the shuttles and transports. There's no way we can lose. --- Basically the armor IX is wearing (except his is all gold): www.downloadmunkey.net/images/kingmong-02.jpg# You can stay here or follow me from afar.

This thing can go to hell for all I care. "Yeah, you can fend for yourself." I got into the pilots seat and disconnected from the ship. It got itself here, now it can get itself back to the planet. I headed back toward the ASF Imperator. Of course, Luca came over the radio. "You're not going to tell me that it already did what it had to." I said, "Well, it is on the ship. It seems like it can handle itself." "Damn it. Get back there!" "Fine..." I went back and redocked with the ship. I hate this mission. On the other side of the world, the people sighed very much in relief as the Federation ships that were harassing began to leave, heading to join the battle with the Anean Space Forces.

High Lord Admiral Hong Tupin
The rest of the fleet fell, save for one last Carnta Class. It's over. All that there is to do now is fire off the rest of my nuclear weapons and get out of the system.
I pressed a few buttons on the command console. The rest of the bridge crew is dead as is 60% of the ship.
With a few orders, I fired 500,000 nuclear rockets at the New Gracaria colony. They gave us hell for this planet so I will make that colony uninhabitable for many years to come. Each rocket has a 1kt warhead.
Just to be sure it hit, I watched. After a few minutes, the entire center of the island was lit up. Good. We have won again despite the losses.
I turned to the console once again, put in coordinates in Andromeda, and entered hyperspace.
---
Fate of the Talon Star
A week later, the Talon Star appeared on the edge of the Andromeda Galaxy. Most of the crew was dead and the ship was ready to fall apart.
Ahead of the ship was a massive, mobile battlestation. As the Talon Star approached, a bright green light appeared in the side of the station.
On the bridge of the ship, High Lord Admiral Tupin grinned as the ship was pulled in.
Over the radio, only this was heard, "Welcome home...
"Prophet."
It was a Pudrian plan to rid Andromeda of the Federation. By putting their drones at the highest commands available, the infiltration remained undetected and no one contested the top military leaders.
With the army of fanatical Federation soldiers led by the leader of the Pudrians, battle after battle was intentionally lost. This fight for Earth was just another attempt to break the ASE while causing maximum damage to the Federation.
From the bridge of the Talon Star, the Prophet let out an evil laugh. The Federation is now crippled, lost their flagship, and most of their remaining ground forces. The best thought though...
Next is the Anean Star Empire.OOC: Do note that the rocket numbers are probably massively over exaggerated due to the fact that the High Lord Admiral doesn't even really know what the ship is capable of. The count is probably more around 10,000-30,000.

Odd. "That will be fine. Shall I have the Leviathan's disassembled for transit? There have been concerns." Corzi was very perturbed by this outsider, must be his Deep Patrol training kicking in, telling him to kill the 'unnatural'...whatever they defined as such. Nutters. The 'red rounds' were being loaded up and ready, his troopers, the prisoners, and the tankettes and IFVs were already strapped in... "How fast do these ships travel? I would like not to get shot down while arriving." -------------------------- Do be careful. If you die or hurt yourself I shall have to strangle you from whatever hells or heavens you get sent to. Even if I have to destroy the Gods. With love, --------Jozi

"I'm afraid the Leviathans are too large for the ships doors... I did not expect that at all. I'm sorry. Do you have a back-up arrangement for them? I would advise that.
There will be no risk of being shot down. We will be completely inaccessible while in transit. The transit time between here and there.. based on average density in between, should be less than 5 minutes."
-----------------------------------------------------------
Special K deployed on the island.
"At last. Let's turn this place against those who rendered it asunder"
They didn't waste any time.
At a turret station, a couple of Federation troops were starting to open fire. ASE snipers had taken out some of them, but the wily bastards were now just blindly shooting in the general direction of the forces.
A loud clang was heard above.
"Must have been a dud-mortar!", one survivor cried out to the other.
Bullets whizzed by the creature. Some kind of 6-legged snake-like monster. It plunged it's legs into the metal roof of the turret station.
The Feds inside the station looked around in confusion as every part of the thing shut down. Then the main machine gun spun around and shot them into pieces.
"Turret secured and aquired"
Special K worked their way deeper into the island. Doing similar to enemy tanks and any ferrous object which happened to be in their way that was at all useful.
Then they came upon quite a sight... A derailed, irradiated, locomotive engine. Carrying construction equipment. It must have been a half mile long of derailed wreckage. The Nachtan Drone inspected it. "What a curious sight. Such Destruction."
The Coronan drones conspired a wicked idea. If they were able to: they would have had grins of pure bloodlust.
"We shall do what we do best... " Said one operator to another. The drones then decended upon the equipment, one per car is all it would take.
"FOR GREAT JUSTICE!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
At one of the inland Federation strongholds, a batallion of soldiers was just beginning a fire-fight with the Aneans. Their position was most unfortunate. As they began to hear a rapid booming thunder approaching them.
The colonel of that particular battalion looked out over the burning wasteland and saw it. Peering back at him with indescribable, burning eyes. The irradiated remnants of an entire burned-out supply train that was destroyed by his men at the beginning of the invasion. Rearranged and reanimated into a some kind of smokey, fiery godzilla from hell. Operated by a few dozen Coronans.
"I Regret Nothing" The colonel said.
The monster then shot a plume of sooty flame at the tower and chomped it in half. Throwing pieces of it further inland.
It then produced a gigantic roar in triumph as it stomped over another few Federation tanks. The soldiers that were hiding out in that stronghold were now running away into the oncoming ASE forces. There was no escape.
The monster shuddered some. It was not a very well-built device, but it probably had another couple stronghold attacks left in it. So they trudged onward.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Singleton Pratzam was not very amused by this. But it was creating fear and panic for the Federation scum that had to be eliminated from the planet. He sent a message to Imperator IX regarding it.
"Imperator IX, this is Coronan Singleton Pratzam. If you happen to see any pieces of equipment lying around and springing to life or perhaps rising up as a giant monster, then do not worry, it's on your side. This is just our special command being... creative I guess. They are only targeting abandoned, irradiated or Federation equipment.
The transports of the Atumrrcho Defense Fleet have already arrived and the Aatuylvan forces should be meeting with you now, if they haven't already."

Finally things were beginning to calm down again in Aluez... two Federation officers had been captured, and the rest executed, the forces that were defending the crash site had only taken one casualty: Tod. "How in the hell is he even alive?" asks a doctor as they strapped him onto a stretcher onboard one of the HIND's, watching the young Fox's blood pressure, heart rate and other vital signs spike wildly and drop to near fatal levels. "We have to get him home..." the doctor looks outside of the camp... the trucks had just arrived when the attack ceased... at least none of these idiots ran. Who would of thought they would drop 700 troopers into their territory over a crash site? "Tell me something I don't know, Kahn" snaps Angel, climbing up to the pilot's seat and beginning to activate the engines, the blades slowly beginning to turn as the beast of a gunship came alive. "Keep an eye on his vitals... if he dies, we will have a very pissed off president up there" ----- Blair cleared his throat as his limo pulled up at the skyport, which was buzzing alive with activity from every direction and walk of life. Of course... it was time for them to help out. "Is the navy ready for use?" he asks as he steps out of the car, saluting Omega when he came out of the hangar. "Yes sir, the ships operational are ready for use" he says, returning the salute before wiping some grease from his head with a soft snort. "And the ones that are unarmed?" "We... could use those as transport ships, sir" he blinks and looks at his roster with a curious hum. "We have three armed siege platforms, sixteen super Hydra frigates, ten Senja corvettes, and twenty Leopard FAC" he scratches his head. " Could of sworn that was more..." "You miscounted" he smirks, before putting a toothpick between his teeth. "And how many troop transports do we have" "fifty-five, just enough to transport what we have in mind..." Blair nodded before looking at the doors of the massive hangars when they opened, watching the ships slowly come out onto the blacktop. "Excellent... I expect these ships to be in the air within the hour... even if it means knocking a few heads together" ----- Transmission to Anean fleet from US Orillion headquarters (Alaska): Whoever is in charge up there, I need permission to give fire support for the current forces that will be making landfall to help with take back efforts of the Anean siezed lands. Cheers, Commander Red Order of Orillion ----- Transmission from Krozan Military Academy: MIRROR IMAGE: This message is going out to all nations of the Planet. The time has come to show our might against these ruthless invaders... they have come with thousands of ships, and have assaulted the Anean colony near Alaska. Many nations have already reacted and rushed to the aid of the colony, including ourselves... so why not you? A house united under one banner will stand strong, but divided, it will surely fall... What happens if you do not help, and the colony falls and is not reclaimed? What then? Do we just sit back and watch while these forces storm out, and attack us all again? And what happens if they come back with an even bigger fleet? Do you want to be at the end of the rifle that Federation scumbag is pointing dead at you?! So I ask you... please, step in. Let us show what a truly UNITED planet can do to their forces... lets kick them off our planet, and make sure that they NEVER return! Sergant Kael Bashir "That may not be much... but it might at least moost our numbers..." he says as he chews on a straw, watching the screen as it lit up with replies from not only a few more Human nations, but also a few Nationstates that were close by to Aluez... and they were sending troops either inbound to the Colony, or to Aluez to be hauled up with their ships. "This is going to be one hell of a counter-invasion... Sea and Air..." ----- Commonwealth of SalnaiWell that sure as hell didn't end well... and it seems the Aneans are not going to be destroyed after all. "Chancellor, what shall we do... should we send troops to help the Federation?" asks the Lieutenant, looking at the human on the other side of the desk. "No... remain silent, wait until hostilities have ceased, and send up ships to harvest the wreckage... least we can do is take the spoils of war" "As you wish..."

Transmission to Anean fleet from US Orillion headquarters (Alaska): Whoever is in charge up there, I need permission to give fire support for the current forces that will be making landfall to help with take back efforts of the Anean siezed lands. Cheers, Commander Red Order of Orillion Understood, you have my clearance to provide fire support. However, be careful not to hit allied forces. There are a lot of them down there.
Vice Admiral Luca Rio Anean Space Force Do be careful. If you die or hurt yourself I shall have to strangle you from whatever hells or heavens you get sent to. Even if I have to destroy the Gods. With love, --------Jozi "Imperator IX, this is Coronan Singleton Pratzam. If you happen to see any pieces of equipment lying around and springing to life or perhaps rising up as a giant monster, then do not worry, it's on your side. This is just our special command being... creative I guess. They are only targeting abandoned, irradiated or Federation equipment.
The transports of the Atumrrcho Defense Fleet have already arrived and the Aatuylvan forces should be meeting with you now, if they haven't already." Imperator IXHoly hell, people seem to want to get in contact with me. The little bag on my leg is vibrating... and playing the Anean national anthem. The latter isn't too bad, but it is still kind of annoying. I can't respond right now though. Out on the horizon, I watched an impressively bright light grow from behind the mountains. It was in the direction of New Gracaria. Looks like the Federation made one last attempt to break us. Even after 1000 years, they still haven't learned that destroying us only makes us fight harder. Through AGF comms I said, "Look at that. The Federation nuked New Gracaria again trying to make us stand down. They know they lost, now let's end this war here!" I climbed onto the top of a GK-II as it rolled onto the grass. As I did, it pushed itself to 60 mph and started to fire at all Federation positions ahead. I still love the double barrel of the tanks. Ahead of the front lines, an Ultra Heavy Artillery gun dropped from orbit. Ah, I was wondering if we'd get one of those. The one nice thing about them is that it is mobile. Of course, it's also a huge ass gun and fires one round every 20 minutes if we're lucky. --- AGF Ultra Heavy Artillery: a.imageshack.us/img295/7062/agfuha.png

Red smiled when he seen the clearence come from their leader... well, whoever was in charge. Excellent. "Target anything that isn't being gangrushed by Aneans... lets say hello from hades" the lights went red as the base went into red alert, and missiles prepared for launch from the silos in the cold, arctic circle of Alaska. The sky lit up with streaks of light as the missiles fired off, aiming for the colony... within about ten minutes, they should have notices of impacts against heavier Federation positions... or at least the ones that were seen from the satellites. ----- Tod groaned out as he was dragged off of the helicopter and rushed to surgery, seeming to be hanging on by a thread of life. Poor guy. "Don't let him die!" shouts Angel, before looking at the transmitter dish... she wondered how fast the Liberty Navy would be here if she sent out a distress signal. "Naahh... I shouldn't do that" she says, heading inside after shutting down the gunship... she did notice the Anean shuttle on the roof as well... odd, she figured they were all held up in their colony. ----- U.N. Task Force Omega"What do you MEAN we are on orders to halt our advance?!" shouts the captain as he spoke with the commander back home, a bit shocked to hear them to cease advances until Aluezian Coalition forces arrived. "You can't be serious..." he then sighed and nodded slowly. "As much as I hate furballs, you are right... we WOULD stand a better chance with allied help. We will fortify positions, until further notice." The captain did not like this one bit... he was just a few miles off the coast of the Anean colony, and now he was under orders to halt his advances until the Aluezians and other forces arrived to come in BEHIND them! What the hell was high command thinking? "Patch me a line to whoever the fuck is in charge of the Aluezian forces..." he says, shooting a glare toward his communications officer. "I want to at least get to know whoever the hell is going to be fighting beside us..." of course, he would much rather smack the person that had ordered this halt upside the head, than talk with some furball commander from lord knows where!

The sky lit up with streaks of light as the missiles fired off, aiming for the colony... within about ten minutes, they should have notices of impacts against heavier Federation positions... or at least the ones that were seen from the satellites. Vice Admiral Luca RioThere were several explosions on the surface. Good. I guess that was the support that the people said they'd have. Hmm... I should probably head down to the surface. My job up here is done anyway. "Get a shuttle ready for me and locate my father. I should probably go speak him." I said. I got up and throw my dress uniform's jacket on. I took it off during the battle since it does get quite stressful up here. "Ma'am, there's a message from ASF High Command." "What does it say?" "The Fleet Admiral was killed in combat operations with the Federation and-" "Well, that's a problem." "And you're the new Fleet Admiral." "What?" "Yes ma'am, you're the new ASF Fleet Admiral. You gained 3 stars in two months. Very impressive. That'll probably go down in history." Fleet Admiral... I never expected that. It feels good though. I have been in the ASF 51 years, more than the previous one, so it is deserved. I can't wait to tell everyone. I think IX had a hand in it though. "Anyway, get me a shuttle to the surface." I said after a moment of applause. "Also, tell the Aluezians that Fleet Admiral Luca Rio is on her way down. I'd rather not celebrate it with being shot down because they didn't know I was coming." Fleet Admiral Luca RioMy little shuttle headed down toward the surface fairly quickly. I decided to just radio in for good measure. "This is Fleet Admiral Rio requesting a place to land." she did notice the Anean shuttle on the roof as well... odd, she figured they were all held up in their colony. Colonel Nakhi Welhan"Damn it! Everyone back in the shuttles! I am not waiting here for someone when there is a battle taking place!" The soldiers got back in the shuttle. When I got in, I gave the order to take off. With that, we headed out of the country and toward the colony. Prime Minister Tyrone Dodwell, Haroma III, GracariaI hate it when IX leaves for his battles. Damn it the man is our head of state but he is still gallivanting around the galaxy playing general. Fucking soldiers and their massive egos. IX is the worst of them. I have no idea how the people even elected him. And then he names himself Emperor basically and the people STILL support him! And now I am in this office doing HIS work because he doesn't want to be the head of state. He won't last long on the throne. I am sure of that. A message came through from the Federation Embassy here on Haroma. That's strange. I checked it out. An official surrender eh? IX is gonna hate it if I let them surrender. Not that I care though. He can't kill me, as much as he wants to.

Damn.
"I shall be but a moment."
Verani seized a radio broadcaster from one of the troopers loading up,
"This is Lord Commander Verani, requesting the transport services of the Aluez. I have three Leviathan Heavy Helis en route that require transport to the Anean colony, think you've got something big enough to take them?"
The Leviathans themselves were loaded up with food, ammo, and spare parts, with one carrying nothing but tailsitters and Ontos armors rigged with parachutes. It would not take them long to reach Aluez, as they had moved to Haverigg along with most of the transport helis...he just hoped the Aluez could take them. Without them he would not have any real cargo transferring ability...dammit he needed trains.
He couldn't afford to wait for a response, so he ordered the Leviathans to Aluez. Hopefully they could be loaded onto one of their vehicles. If not....
"Alright you sods, load up! We've got work to do!"

Master Sergeant Nakhi Fhulsar Welhan IIOkay then. I feel important since I now know I don't matter. This thing can go to hell for all I care. "Yeah, you can fend for yourself." I got into the pilots seat and disconnected from the ship. It got itself here, now it can get itself back to the planet. I headed back toward the ASF Imperator. Of course, Luca came over the radio. "You're not going to tell me that it already did what it had to." I said, "Well, it is on the ship. It seems like it can handle itself." "Damn it. Get back there!" "Fine..." I went back and redocked with the ship. I hate this mission. Between the time the Anean ''fled'', to the eyes of the Harbinger, and came back, against the probabilities... She had already ''clawed'' her way through the narrow corridors going to the Missile storage hangar, avoiding the few security ''cameras'' so far. Before going to the Command Deck of the ship, the room containing the Nuclear Weapons had to be secured, in order to prevent any early launching that would jeopardize the lives the Harbinger was instructed to protect. From her vantage point, She could see the large, deep room filled with probably hundreds of bombs and missiles, but also with a few dozens of people going back and forth, busy at preparing the weapons for, probably, an imminent attack of the surface. The AI calculations were far from optimistic, regarding the silent approach of the mission... The Harbinger would have to resort to a more drastic line of actions, after all ? Good. The Harbinger chose to adopt a ''special'' tactic, since as efficient the previous method was, a direct hit would be faster and more... ''satisfying''... From the top of the stairs, going down in the Hangar, The Harbinger ''took flight'', landing loudly on the metal floor... She let go a sudden, loud and piercing screech, like the scream of a banshee, her 8 Arms spread in the air, to terrorize the enemies... Psychological warfare. On the end of the scream, she trusted her 4 free arms forward, throwing a deadly volley of knives, before jumping forward, almost gliding as her feet barely touched the ground below her, slashing anyone coming in reach of her 4 arms holding the monomolecular blades. About a dozen were dead, before anyone could broke free from the horror of her presence... A thin squeleton of resistance emerged from a dozen of guards, but they were still recovering, clumsy with their guns... They shoot and shoot again, trying frantically to hit Her, as the Harbinger was moving at an incredible speed, jumping from boxes and on terrified unarmed workers, making acrobatic moves, easily dodging the bullets of those weak enemies. One last jump on a tall box and She used it to launch herself through the group of guards... Quickly killing some in the process, grabbing a few to throw at the other or as ''shield''... In the end, her armor had barely taken a few scratches, from those poorly trained people. The few surviving workers had fled the room, the alarm soon raised, but this wasn't a real problem, now that the Nuclear weapons were secured... Now was the time to stop this ship, but before exiting the room, she made sure no one could enter it for a good moment, by collapsing a metal catwalk just above the stairs going in the room... A few precisely thrown knives did the trick. Time was running short. OOC : From the picture you can see that the Harbinger has 8 Arms : 2 are natural and 6 are Cybernetic. She has 2 Long Monomolecular Blades and 2 Short Monomolecular Blades. i780.photobucket.com/albums/yy88/Nova225/Harbinger.pngOOC : For the ''Banshee screetch'', it's a bit like that : soundbible.com/force-sounds.php?id=mp3/Screaming%20Hawk-SoundBible.com-1210664501.mp3&clip=mp3
